Partner Expertise

Partners bring design expertise in communications, multimedia, military and other vertical market segments. This will allow you to focus on system level architecture definition and out source the implementation, verification and prototype to the partners. Partners are committed to providing services with latest enabling technologies and tools for creating shortest time-to-market solutions. 

Communications 

Data Communication  

Consultant partners have implemented T1, T3, ATM, IMUX, test equipment, high speed modem and many other types of communications related designs. 

Video, Audio, Data Acquisition and General Signal Processing 

Consultant partners have expertise in areas of Digital Video & Audio, digital imaging, advanced graphics. Solution strengths are in areas of Image/Video/Audio acquisition, Image/Video Processing, Image/Video Compression, Graphics Display Control, System Interface Control. 

Bus Designs 

ISA, VME and PCI-Based designs. 
 
Military 

Signal Encryption and Decryption, Secure Communications, "Agency" and space projects, Self disarming land Mines and Mortar shells. These designs utilized the partner's expertise and experience with high reliability, military environment and low power projects. 

Services Overview

Product Definition

Program members will interpret market requirements, product strategy and design the products specification. 

System Definition 

Design the system architecture and requirements for both hardware and software components. Advanced partners will provide you with special skills for Functional & Performance Modeling, System Solution Specification, HW/SW Partitioning, Component Definition & Implementation, System Verification & Integration of modules. 

System or Component Implementation 

Core Integration  

XPERTS partners will provide knowledge on how to maximize the return on investment in both internally and externally developed intellectual property (IP). You could be using this design reuse methodology for new design or converting existing designs into reusable designs, these partners will help you accomplish your needs. 
 
Synthesis/Code Writing  

Partners provide training/turnkey services. The driving force is that RTL synthesis is forcing designers to lose critical design skills. The correlation between software implementation and hardware structure is so poorly understood that today's digital logic circuits are 20-50% too large and 25-60% too slow. 
 
Verification 

HW/SW verification, Emulation , a complete verification methodology that addresses the productivity gap of today and tomorrow.   
 
Efficient Device Utilization & Performance 

XPERTS partners have the expertise in both EDA and Xilinx tools and architectures to help you with efficient device utilization and increased performance. The reduced cost of silicon will more than offset the design services costs. 

Methodology Consulting 

Team Based Design Expertise  

XPERTS partners have the required knowledge and experience to help you incorporate team based design practices. As the complexity increases you will need to utilize hierarchical based design methodologies, portions of designs may be done by groups in other geographical areas. Do you have adequate knowledge to incorporate this new design paradigm without increasing your project risks. XPERTS partners will help you meet these challenges. 

Additional Services 

Board Design  

Increased performance requirements for systems has led to increased transmission line issues, board inductance, I/O clock skew/signal integrity/additional voltage levels on board/meeting timing required/multiple I/O drive strengths. XPERTS partners have the knowledge and skills to help meet these challenges head-on. 

Conversions 

XPERTS partners offer services to convert end of life ASICs and other products to Xilinx FPGAs quickly and cost effectively. 

Data Transcriptions 

XPERTS partner offer services to convert old designs from obsolete HDL &/or Schematics to VHDL or Verilog 

Cost Reduction 

Services are available to reduce your overall production cost by integrating system functionality in a Xilinx solution. 
 
Partners will work with you closely to match your wish with their expertise and available resources. The following types of services are provided by XPERTS members. 

Partner Expertise

Turn Key Services 

An XPERTS partner will work on the entire design, from your specification through design and verification to place and route and generate bit stream and if required test the board. These consulting companies  work with the most advanced tools, methodologies, intellectual property, and design expertise to cut the design time and increase your product's functionality and quality. Partners possess ability to put together a team of experienced engineers on short notice to rapidly realize a design concept using latest in Xilinx technology to give you a competitive advantage. 

Personal or Project by Project  

Consultants work on a part of the project on an hourly basis. Their expertise can be leveraged in areas like: 

• IP Integration or customization (both internally or externally developed IP)
• Performing comprehensive verification at at optimal points in your design
• Resolving issues with high speed designs and global systems design.
• They can work with you to develop and implement the infrastructure and processes required to enable you to maximize your leverage of multisite design and manufacturing resources - giving you the edge you need to stay competitive in this global market.
